The Dusy with Dehesa (page 2)

Will, Tim, Earlene and myself got up early, packed and hit the trail at 9:45 AM Friday.  I took the lead with Will behind.  Shortly after hitting the trail I pinched my front tire on a rock and lost some air.  We stopped and I quickly aired it back up.  Ended up being a real poseur spot (hehe). 102-0282.jpg (64050 bytes)

We then got to the 10,000 foot level at 3:00 PM.  We were above the tree line.  What an awesome view!  This is a 360 of the highest part of the trail.

We then got to were we could look down on Deer Lake.  At this point the rockcrawling was a blast!  I guess this is the area a lot of people don't like....but I enjoyed it! 103-0369.jpg (37683 bytes)
Shortly after that (4:15 PM) we hit the end of the trail at White Bark Vista.

Heading for the road we spotted this groundhog...too bad Will's V-8 scared the little guy! 103-0383.jpg (53267 bytes)
When you hit the paved road you come to some well deserved restrooms.  Only disappointment is there's no running water, just pots to do your thing in. 103-0385.jpg (53120 bytes)
103-0386.jpg (64987 bytes) Great trip, great people!  I'm very happy with the handling of my jeep.

Will I go again?  I will if I ever stop smoking and get this old ass in shape.  It's hard to camp at 9,000 feet.  The trail was fantastic!

If you have the chance, go do the Dusy.  Plan on taking your time and enjoy all that surrounds you.
